Breshad Perriman (WR, NYJ) - Wide Receiver Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~132 Overall CURRENT ADP:~158 ANALYSIS: No one is talking about Perriman and his under the radar signing with the Jets. Perriman was a forgotten man during most of 2019 playing in Tampa Bay behind one of the best WR combos in the game in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. It looked like […]
Jamison Crowder (WR, NYJ) - Wide Receiver PPR Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~109 ANALYSIS: Last season, the Jets featured Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on offense.

Jonnu Smith (TE, TEN) - Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~152 ANALYSIS: The Titans rode Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown to the playoffs last season and vice-versa, but their 2017 third-round pick could make noise in 2020. Delanie Walker went down in Week 7 and while Smith showed flashes, he wasn’t a finished product in an offense that emphasized […]
Curtis Samuel (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~138 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~157 ANALYSIS: The Panthers offense is going to be vastly different compared to last year.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~168 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: If you caught all our XFL coverage during the shortened 2020 season (R.I.P. again), then you know that Phillip Walker would have been the clear choice for MVP.
